Second Master Jiang finally let out the secret that he had kept in his heart for many years, and after finishing speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Although Ning Changguo and the Ning family are gone, the culprits who caused these tragedies are still at large and have not been affected by this incident in the slightest. When they are mentioned, people still praise them, they are still a famous scholarly family, and they are still influenced by Jiangnan.

An object of admiration for literati and even scholars all over the world.

Just this point makes Mr. Jiang feel unwilling. Even though he is just a small owner of a teahouse in Bianguan, after all, he is still from the Song family and a member of the royal family. The pride engraved in his bones will not tolerate such things.

A bastard with ulterior motives tries to get his hands on the imperial power without being punished. In the past, there was no particularly suitable opportunity. Now that the opportunity is presented to him, he will never let it go.

"After you said it, did you feel a lot better?"

"Um!"

Mr. Jiang nodded towards Qin Zheng. He said all these words today and laid out all the evidence collected over the years. He believed that with these ironclad evidence, the Ning family in Chaozhou, a century-old prominent family, could not be sure

It will collapse suddenly.

However, with the collapse of the Ning clan in Chaozhou, some major cases in the Jiangnan literary world will be implicated, which are beyond his control. If something really happens, then he cannot be blamed. It can only be said that these big clans have many careers.

Those who are unjust will inevitably die. It is their own arrogance and arrogance that have brought them to a dead end.

"Are you so happy? The corners of your mouth are grinning behind your ears!" Uncle Yan dragged Mr. Jiang, who was walking around the room, and asked him to sit next to him. He raised his eyebrows at him, "It's been a long time."

I haven’t seen you like this for twenty or thirty years, right? Every time you smile, I feel flustered and cautious. I feel like it’s not coming from your sincerity.”

"It's not serious, is it?" After hearing what Uncle Yan said, Mr. Jiang couldn't laugh or cry. He poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips and put it down again, "Is my smile so ugly?"

"It's not ugly, but it's quite scary. I always feel that your happiness is not really happy, but because you are afraid that we will worry about you, so you force yourself to show happiness." Yan Bo raised his chin towards the children, "right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Uncle Yan is right, that's pretty much it. It's just..." She thought for a moment, "Second Grandpa, you are indeed smiling sincerely, but you are not completely happy.

, it seems like something else is pressing on you."

"Xiao Cha is Xiao Cha. You have learned Huilan's ability to see into people's hearts!" Uncle Yan patted Second Master Jiang on the arm, "The children have already said it. As an elder, can you also express it a little bit?"

"What does it mean?" Mr. Jiang pretended to be calm, picked up the tea cup and drank tea to cover up the little panic in his heart, "Once I say this, nothing will hold me back."

"Okay, don't be so tough-talking!" Uncle Wang sat across from them and rolled his eyes helplessly, "I'm afraid you only said 10% of the things you said, and 90% of them are still on your shoulders.

In my own mind, I have already talked about this today, so you might as well tell everything openly and neatly, so as not to keep you awake all night long when you think about it."

"Isn't it necessary?" Mr. Jiang hesitated, "There is no need to tell these things and make you feel uncomfortable together, is there?"

"What he said is that he obviously treats us as outsiders!" Uncle Yan also rolled his eyes, and after he finished rolling his eyes, he advised earnestly, "Even if you don't tell us those things, we can still make guesses.

Eight, but many details are unclear. You can’t take the grievances, unfair treatment, and stigma you have suffered with you when you leave this world, right? They must be washed away for you while you are alive, right?

Otherwise, how should you be recorded in the history books? Are things that you did not do and have nothing to do with you put on your head? Besides, you have to let those people see the light, right?

No? Let everyone see the ugly faces and sinister and vicious methods of some sanctimonious guys, and see their rotten hearts hidden under the glamorous appearance, right?"

Seeing that Mr. Jiang's attitude was a little relaxed, he kept up his efforts and continued, "Besides, the things the children are investigating now are more or less related to your things. Maybe your things can still be done."

It becomes a key clue!"

"I don't have much time to study, so don't fool me." Second Master Jiang looked at Uncle Yan and said suspiciously, "Can those bad things about me be used as clues? Stop talking nonsense!"

"How to talk? Can I talk nonsense?" Yan Bo picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and continued to persuade, "Although those things are indeed bad, the advantage is that these things happened in a relatively long time, and it was the children.

A period that is missing from those things that are being investigated.”

"You mean to say that we still have to go back to the Qinglian Sect's affairs?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian said at the same time. The two looked at each other, and Shen Cha continued, "This must be traced back, at least to the time of great-grandfather. The Empress Dowager was given by great-grandfather to grandfather.

We want to know what she has done over the years, whether it is openly or secretly."

"Is that so?" Mr. Jiang gently shook his head, "But when I was born, my father was already very old, so I didn't have much impression of him. As for the person you're talking about, I'm not special either.

understanding.”

"You're talking nonsense with your eyes open." Uncle Yan slapped him hard twice, "Isn't it the old witch who did all your things? Without her involvement, would those people dare to attack you? How to say that?

, you are also the oldest, right?" Seeing that Mr. Jiang was still a little hesitant, he sighed, "To be honest, although we are about the same age, you are still a few years older than us, and it is precisely at this age that you are older than us.

This is the most critical period, you have to admit this."

"How old do you mean?" Mr. Jiang couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm afraid I'm the oldest one here, right? That kid Wu Qingruo is two years younger than me!"

"He can't calculate. His birth is a mystery, and his age is also a mystery. No one knows how old he is, even he himself can't be sure." Seeing several children, especially Shen Haolin, staring at him, Yan Bo smiled.

, "Don't you know what your master is like?"

"I know!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Master mentioned that his situation is somewhat similar to that of the old man in Xuanyuan Mansion, but he doesn't have memories like the old man. He doesn't have such a long memory."

"Yes, that's because his previous memory was erased by the previous Eagle King using very special means." Seeing the shocked expressions of several children, Uncle Yan curled his lips in disgust, "Look at you, you look like nothing I've ever seen before. What the world looks like!”

"Uncle Qin, this is something you have never seen or heard of before. Aren't you surprised at first glance? How come the Eagle King still has this ability? I've never heard of it before!" Xue Ruitian couldn't help but swallowed, " Isn’t this a bit too fantasy? It’s a bit like a story in a storybook.”

"It's no wonder you haven't heard of it. This is actually related to the bloodline inheritance of the Eagle King, but not every generation of Eagle King has this ability."

"Isn't blood inheritance passed down to every generation?" Xue Ruitian blinked, "Isn't this thing also random?"

"Almost, Wu Qingruo's father had this bloodline, but Wu Qingruo didn't. However, he himself couldn't tell what was going on. Many things were found in manuscripts and classics left by the Eagle Kings of the past generations. He also He didn't explain it clearly to us, and we didn't ask in detail. After all, this is a family secret. I'm embarrassed to ask too much about it." Qin Zheng smiled and took a braised duck tongue from the table, "But that's the way it is. It would be great if you all know that there is such a thing. If you are really interested, you can find a chance to ask him. Maybe, his previous memories can be restored!"

"This is unlikely." Uncle Yan shook his head gently, "He had thought about this before and used many of their family's secret recipes, but it still had no effect. Now he has given up and doesn't care much about it. "After saying that, he patted Qin Zheng and said, "Don't start a fight, you almost interrupt the serious business."

"Let me think about it." Second Master Jiang looked at Uncle Yan, then at his children who were looking at him curiously, sighed softly, and said with a smile, "Think about how to say this, it's still quite complicated. Yes, there are a lot of things and they are quite messy. Some things are too long ago and I don’t remember the details very clearly. Please let me sort them out.”

He reached for the wine bottle next to him, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Shen Cha looked at Mr. Jiang. Although she wanted to stop him, she saw his expression and swallowed back the words that were on her lips.

Just drink if you want. Maybe drinking can really make him feel better. After all, he must be uncomfortable with so many things on his mind.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha felt very sad. From what she knew about Mr. Jiang, he was a very talented person. Because of your various partisanship and opposition, and because of all the hidden struggles behind the scenes, such an outstanding person was born. When people are depressed and unable to achieve their goals, they can only hide in the border areas and become the owner of a teahouse. This is really too much.

Shen Haolin turned around and saw Shen Cha's expression of indignation and hesitation. He patted her gently and then turned back to look at Mr. Jiang. Seeing the depression on Mr. Jiang's face, he sighed silently in his heart. Take a breath.

"Haolin, what are you sighing about again?" Uncle Yan smiled, "Don't sigh casually at a young age, it will make you grow old easily." He raised his chin towards Shen Haolin, "Tell me, what were you thinking about just now? You talk very little tonight, why?"

"Uncle Yan, I have always spoken very little."

"But when Xiaocha is around, there are still quite a few, but today there are just too few. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I did feel uncomfortable after listening to Second Grandpa's words." Shen Haolin thought for a moment, looked at Second Master Jiang, and said, "Actually, I, Xiao Jue, and I know a little bit about Second Grandpa's affairs. Yes, I’m not very clear about what happened, but I know that Grandpa Second has suffered a lot of slander that he shouldn’t have suffered, and for some reasons, Grandpa Second can’t avenge himself.”

"It doesn't look like he only knows a little bit." Second Master Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, "You tell me what you know, who told you this? Let's see which kid has such a bad mouth!"

"It's the late emperor."

"You are so polite and still call me the late emperor. Isn't he your uncle?"

"Yes, it's uncle. But, I heard from him that he promised the second grandpa not to tell anything about you. That's why I told you the specific things. Xiaojue and I don't know. It's just that every time uncle, every time uncle When I’m in a bad mood, I drink a little bit.”

"Drinking?" Mr. Jiang chuckled, "With his drinking capacity, he still wants to drink? He pours a glass, and starts talking after he pours it, as if he wishes he could finish talking his whole life in one night."

"What the second grandpa said is that my uncle's drinking capacity is average, and he gets drunk every time. When he is drunk, he will talk to us, saying that he is sorry for the second grandpa, sorry for Uncle Ning, etc. He said that he has failed his grandfather and father. As I asked you, I failed to take good care of you and so on."

"That's what he said?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "He regrets that you left Xijing City and followed my father to the border. He thinks it is because of his cowardice and hesitation that he is always afraid of this and worried about that. , which caused the second grandfather to be slandered, and it was difficult to clear his grievances. Every time he talked about this matter, he would hold my and Xiaojue’s hands and say that if he had the opportunity to clear his grievances, he would , you must do it well and don’t let regrets continue.”

"I know!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "I just told Lao Qin and the others that they will stay here for the next two days. During the day, I will go back to sort out the evidence and send it to you. When this matter with the Ning family is over, , let's go home separately. When I figure things out and sort them out, I will come to you and talk to you carefully."

"You finally figured it out?"

"I figured it out!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "I think what you said is quite right. Although I don't care about future generations' comments, I don't want to carry these stigmas and cause some people to receive the punishment they deserve."

"Hey, you're right to think so!"

"In that case, it's getting late. Let's have people come over to clean up. How about you guys take a rest?"

"No need to work!" Qin Zheng waved his hand, "When is this? We old brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and we need to chat again. Just ask someone to bring you some soupy midnight snacks. Take these down!"
